  Key Concepts: 
  Multisegment planning is a feature of SAP Controlling (CO) that allows users to plan and analyze cost and revenue data across multiple segments. It enables users to create plans for different segments of their business, such as departments, products, or customers, and then compare the results. This helps users to identify areas of potential improvement and make more informed decisions. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use multisegment planning in SAP Controlling, users must first define the segments they want to plan for. This can be done by creating a segment structure in the system. Once the segments are defined, users can enter their cost and revenue data into the system. The system will then generate a plan for each segment based on the data entered. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using multisegment planning in SAP Controlling, it is important to ensure that the data entered is accurate and up-to-date. This will help ensure that the plans generated are accurate and useful. Additionally, it is important to regularly review the plans generated to identify areas of potential improvement. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Multisegment planning is closely related to other features of SAP Controlling such as cost center planning and activity-based costing. Additionally, it can be used in conjunction with other SAP modules such as Materials Management (MM) and Sales & Distribution (SD).
